(1) LCD SCREEN displays the current DSP module and parameter settings.
(2) SETUP button steps through parameters within DSP processing modules.
(3) PROCESS button steps through the DSP processing modules.
(4) SIGNAL LED lights up to indicate the channel is receiving a signal.
(5) GAIN controls adjusts the analogue input level. To increase signal gain, rotate the controls clockwise;
to reduce the gain, rotate the knobs counter-clockwise. (Fullrange models have separate GAIN
knobs for channels A and B, while iQ15B and iQ18B subwoofers have a single dedicated A/B knob
for both channels.)
(6) OUTPUT A/OUTPUT B XLR connectors provide un-processed copies of the INPUT A or
INPUT B signals.
(7) LINE/MIC switch adjusts the input sensitivity for INPUT A and INPUT B.
(8) INPUT A/INPUT B combo jacks accept input signals using XLR, balanced ¼" TRS or unbalanced
¼" TS connectors.
(9) POWER switch turns the unit on and off.
(10) AC INPUT accepts power connections from power cables fi tted with Neutrik powerCON
twist-locking connectors.
(11) ENCODER KNOB toggles between Graphic and Edit modes (when pressed) and changes parameter
values (when rotated).
(12) EXIT button returns to the top-level DSP screen when pressed.
(13) ENTER button saves changes and deactivates Edit mode when pressed.
(14) MIX OUTPUT XLR jack (unavailable on iQ15B and iQ18B subwoofers) sends out a post-GAIN signal
composed of the summed INPUT A and INPUT B signals.
(15) USB connection enables fi rmware updates and remote control over parameters via computer.

(16) ULTRANET THRU sends out unprocessed digital audio from the ULTRANET IN connector to additional
ULTRANET-equipped devices.
(17) ULTRANET IN RJ45 plug comes with 2 linked green status LEDs. Whenever a CAT5 cable has been
connected, and a valid ULTRANET signal is detected, both LEDs will light up simultaneously to indicate
that the ULTRANET signal is ready to use.
(18) VENTILATION FAN speed adjusts automatically to ensure trouble-free operation.
(19) AC LINK OUTPUT connects power to other devices using power cables with Neutrik powerCON twist-
locking connectors.
Networking capability
All iQ powered loudspeakers offer remote control via USB. The USB connection allows the user to
confi gure and monitor all DSP parameters using dedicated iQ software for PC.
The DSP fi rmware can also be updated via the USB connection. Visit turbosound.com for the latest
fi rmware version.
iQ speakers also offer proprietary ULTRANET networking capabilities through the ULTRANET IN and THRU
connections using CAT5 cables with RJ45 connectors. ULTRANET allows the user to transmit
unidirectionally up to 16 independent channels of 24-bit audio throughout the iQ system, as well as other
ULTRANET-equipped devices such as digital mixers and personal monitor systems. Up to 7 devices can be
connected in series on a single ULTRANET cable. ULTRANET can also be used for remote control of the
iQ selection of modeled speakers.
